Real Madrid interested in high-flyer Benjamin Sesko

Real Madrid remain on the hunt for a new striker for the upcoming season following the painful and surprising cancellation of Kylian Mbappe. An attacker from RB Salzburg should now have priority.

As reported by AS, the Madrilenians have targeted Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian only returned to the Red Bulls before the current season after a loan. The center forward turned up the heat there and excelled in the Austrian Cup, where he scored five goals and three assists. In total, the goalgetter has participated in 18 goals this season.

In the eyes of the Real bosses, with these numbers, Sesko may be perfect as an apprentice to Karim Benzema, who would pass on his experience to the next generation. The deal should therefore be completed in the coming weeks. However, Red Bull may not necessarily be willing to talk in the negotiations.

With Karim Adeyemi, the champion of the 2021/2022 season has already lost a top striker. In addition to Sesko, Noah Okafor is also adored by top clubs like Borussia Dortmund. The Austrians are threatened with a sell-off, which would massively weaken the strong offensive.

Would Real Madrid slowly lose their patience if they were rejected again? The royals were only informed by Kylian Mbappe at the weekend that the transfer, which was considered safe, would still burst.

In addition, they had to admit defeat in the fight for BVB striker Erling Haaland Manchester City. Unusual for a club that the stars have been running into for decades.
